Definitions
- the present invention relates to a polyester container obtained by biaxial-orientation blow-molding a preform made of polyester resin such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). More particularly, the present invention relates to a polyester container in which food, such as baby food, and a drink, such as coffee with milk (café au lait), is filled, and which is sealed off and then treated by retort sterilization, as well as to a method of manufacturing the polyester container.
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- the manufactured polyester container has insufficient heat stability and suffers remarkable deformation by heat shrinkage under a temperature condition of 70° C or higher.
- a method has been employed in which a neck portion of a preform made of polyester resin is heated to an appropriate temperature for crystallization, and biaxial-orientation blow-molding is carried out on the preform in a mold held at a temperature around 140° C, thereby heat-setting a molded piece.
- the polyester container manufactured by such a method has a problem that, when retort sterilization is performed at, e.g., 120° C for 20 - 50 minutes on the container in which the contents have been filled, a bottom portion of the container shrinks and deforms. Further, in some cases, the deformation reaches a portion of the container body near the bottom, which may result in deformation of the container body and whitening of the bottom portion.
- Japanese Patent Laid-open Publication No. 9-216275 proposes a heat-resistant polyester container that is manufactured by the steps of whitening a neck portion of a preform; heating the preform to 100 -120° C and forming a primary intermediate molded piece in a primary blowing mold held at a temperature higher than that of the preform; heating the obtained primary intermediate molded piece to 200 - 235° C to form a secondary intermediate molded piece as a result of heat shrinkage of the former; and blow-molding the secondary intermediate molded piece under biaxial orientation and, at the same time, heat-setting the body of the polyester container by utilization of the heat produced in the preceding step.
- the biaxial-orientation and the heat setting are not performed to a sufficient level in the bottom portion of the container. Accordingly, when the proposed container is subjected to retort sterilization at 120° C for 30 minutes, the bottom portion of the container is partly whitened.
- the above-mentioned deformation in the bottom portion of the polyester container during the retort sterilization is attributable to stress remaining after the biaxial-orientation blow-molding in a secondary blowing mold, and is caused upon heat shrinkage of the container due to heating in the retort sterilization.
- the cause of whitening in the bottom portion of the polyester container resides in that, because a central area of the bottom portion is not sufficiently stretched during the step of biaxial-orientation blow-molding, polyester resin in the bottom central area is crystallized into spherical crystals due to heating in the retort sterilization.
- polyester containers proposed in the prior arts have a limitation in providing heat stability enough to withstand heat shrinkage caused at a filling temperature of approximately 95° C and in preventing the occurrence of whitening.
- a polyester container in which a barrel portion and a bottom portion of the container are heat-set, and at least the bottom portion of the container has an endothermic peak on a DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) curve in the range of not lower than about 150° C but not higher than a melting start point.
- DSC Different Scanning Calorimetry
- At least the bottom portion of the container has crystallinity not less than 35 %.
- a method of manufacturing a polyester container which comprises the steps of blow-molding a preform made of polyester resin under biaxial orientation in a primary mold to obtain an intermediate molded piece having dimensions greater than a final molded product; heat-shrinking the intermediate molded piece; and blow-molding the heat-shrunk intermediate molded piece under biaxial orientation in a secondary mold and, at the same time, heat-setting a barrel portion and a bottom portion of the container in the secondary mold, thereby manufacturing a polyester container in which at least the bottom portion of the container has an endothermic peak on a DSC curve in the range of not lower than about 150° C but not higher than a melting start point.
- At least the bottom portion of the container has crystallinity not less than 35 %.
- a polyester container of the present invention is characterized in that at least a bottom portion of the container has an endothermic peak on a DSC curve in the range of not lower than about 150° C but not higher than a melting start point.
- the endothermic peak of the bottom portion of the container on the DSC curve is at a temperature lower than about 150° C, heat stability of the polyester container would not be sufficient for withstanding retort sterilization at high temperatures. Conversely, if the endothermic peak thereof on the DSC curve is at a temperature above the melting start point, the container would have a rough surface texture.
- the polyester container of the present invention having the specific endothermic peak on the DSC curve as described above has heat stability remarkably increased in comparison with conventional polyester containers, and therefore it can be treated by retort sterilization at a high temperature not lower than 100° C, particularly at 120° C, for 20 - 50 minutes after filling food, such as baby food, or a drink, such as coffee with milk, in the container.
- the endothermic peak of the polyester container on the DSC curve represents melting of a paracrystal formed upon the heat-setting that is effected in the step of biaxial-orientation blow-molding in the secondary mold, and it means a peak on the DSC curve measured as described below.
- paracrystal means a structural region that is formed in a material of the container when the container is heat-treated at an arbitrary temperature not higher than the melting point for a certain period of time or longer.
- the paracrystal is characterized in melting near the temperature of the heat treatment, and therefore differs from a usual crystal having the melting point specific to a material.
- a barrel portion of the polyester container of the present invention exclusive of a bottom portion and a neck portion, may have the endothermic peak on the DSC curve in the range of not lower than 140° C but not higher than the melting start point, because the barrel portion is more sufficiently stretched than the bottom portion during the biaxial-orientation blow-molding of the container body.
- the endothermic peak of the barrel portion of the polyester container is preferably resulted under the same condition as for the endothermic peak of the bottom portion thereof.
- the endothermic peak of the polyester container on the DSC curve is measured as described below.
- the temperature of the polyester container was raised from 20° C at a rate of 10° C/min, and the presence of an endothermic peak in a temperature range from the glass transition point (Tg) to the melting point (Tm) was determined using a differential thermal analyzer.
- the polyester container of the present invention is characterized in that the barrel portion and the bottom portion have crystallinity in the range of 35 - 50 %, preferably in the range of 42 - 48 %.
- the polyester container would be deformed due to heat shrinkage when the container is treated by retort sterilization at a high temperature. Conversely, if the crystallinity exceeds above 50 %, the container would have to be heat-set at higher temperatures for a long time when molded, thus resulting in a rough surface texture of the container.
- the crystallinity of the polyester container is measured as described below.
- the density of polyester resin as a material of the container was determined under a condition of 20° C using an n-heptane-carbon tetrachloride-based density gradient tube (made by Ikeda Rika Co., Ltd. in Japan).
- the polyester container of the present invention can be manufactured as described below. First, a neck portion of a preform prepared by injection-molding polyester resin is crystallized by an appropriate heating means so that the neck portion has heat stability. Then, the preform is heated to a temperature not lower than the glass transition point (Tg), e.g., a temperature in the range of 95 - 115° C, and the perform is blow-molded under biaxial orientation in a primary mold to obtain an intermediate molded piece having a sufficiently stretched bottom portion and having dimensions greater than a final molded product.
- Tg glass transition point
- the obtained intermediate molded piece is heated to 130 - 200° C (for 4 - 10 seconds at a heating oven temperature of 700 - 900° C) for heat shrinkage to remove stress occurred in the above step of biaxial- orientation blow-molding. Thereafter, the heat-shrunk intermediate molded piece is blow-molded under biaxial orientation in a secondary mold, which is heated such that at least a bottom mold has a temperature in the range of not lower than 150° C but not higher than a melting start point of the resin, and at the same time a barrel portion of the container below the neck portion and the bottom portion are heat-set in the secondary mold. An objective polyester container is thus obtained.
- the container when releasing the polyester container from the secondary mold at the high temperature, the container is subjected to cooling blow with air at 20 - 25° C for 1 - 5 seconds, as required, to prevent deformation of the container.
- the inventors have found that, when a polyester container is manufactured by heat-shrinking an intermediate molded piece with heat treatment, which is obtained by blow-molding a preform under biaxial orientation in a primary mold, to remove stress occurred during the biaxial-orientation blow-molding, and blow-molding the heat-shrunk intermediate molded piece under biaxial orientation in a secondary mold heated to a temperature not lower than 150° C, preferably not lower than 180° C, but not higher than a melting start point of material resin, while heat-setting a barrel portion and a bottom portion of the container, the bottom portion of the container, particularly a central area thereof, is sufficiently stretched in the step of biaxial-orientation blow-molding and residual stress in the bottom portion of the container occurred during the biaxial-orientation blow-molding in the secondary mold can be removed, whereby a molecular structure is produced which has a high heat stability endurable to retort sterilization performed at a high temperature not lower than 100° C, particularly at 120° C
- a preform is blow-molded under biaxial orientation in a primary mold to obtain an intermediate molded piece, which is heat-shrunk with heat treatment.
- a secondary mold used for blow-molding the intermediate molded piece under biaxial orientation is heated to a temperature in the particular range described above, and the intermediate molded piece is subjected to biaxial-orientation blow-molding in the secondary mold.
- a barrel portion and a bottom portion of the container are heat-set (usually for about 1 - 10 seconds and preferably about 3 - 6 seconds) until at least the bottom portion of the polyester container obtained after cooling has an endothermic peak on a DSC curve in the range of not lower than about 150° C but not higher than a melting start point.
- the bottom portion of the polyester container is sufficiently stretched and residual stress in the bottom portion of the container occurred during the biaxial-orientation blow-molding in the secondary mold can be removed.
- a polyester container can be realized in which crystallinity is improved (to a level not lower than 35 % in usual cases) and a crystallinity distribution in the body and the bottom portion of the container has a less variation (within 10 %, preferably within 5 %).
- the polyester container having desired properties could not be obtained. Conversely, if the temperature of the secondary mold in the heat-setting exceeds above the melting start point, the surface of the polyester container after being subjected to the biaxial-orientation blow-molding and the heat-setting would be fused to the secondary mold, thus resulting in problems that the resulting container would have a rough surface texture and would not be easily released from the mold.
- Materials of the polyester container of the present invention may be any suitable one of polyester resins that can be blow-molded under biaxial orientation and also crystallized.

Specifically, Fig. 1 shows a step of manufacturing a primary molded piece from a preform, and Fig. 2 shows a step of manufacturing a final molded product from a secondary molded piece.
- a neck portion 2 of a preform 1 made of polyethylene terephthalate resin was crystallized (whitened) by an appropriate heating means. Then, the preform 1 was heated to a temperature of 110° C not lower than the glass transition point (Tg), and was blow-molded under biaxial-orientation in a primary mold, whose temperature was held at 25° C, at stretch ratios set to 3.3 in length, 3.5 in width and 11.55 in area size.
- a primary molded piece B1 having a barrel diameter of 70.3 mm and a height of 262.6 mm and having dimensions greater than a targeted polyester bottle B3 was thereby obtained.
- the obtained primary molded piece B1 was heated for heat shrinkage in a heating oven of 800° C for 5 seconds so that the surface of the primary molded piece B1 reached 150° C in average.
- the heat-shrunk secondary molded piece B2 was blow-molded under biaxial orientation in a secondary mold, whose temperature was held at 150° C.
- a barrel portion 3 and a bottom portion 4 except for a neck portion 2 were heat-set for 3 seconds.
- the polyester bottle B3 having a barrel diameter of 69.2 mm, a height of 209.4 mm and an inner volume of 500 ml and being circular in horizontal cross-section was thereby obtained. Subsequently, when taking the polyester bottle B3 out of the secondary mold, air at 25° C was blown into the polyester bottle B3 for 3 seconds for cooling blow.
- a DSC curve measured for the bottom portion of the polyester bottle B3 had a gentle endothermic peak extending over a temperature range of 120 - 170° C with an apex located near 150° C, as shown in Fig. 3. Also, as plotted in a graph of Fig. 15, the crystallinity in the barrel portion 3 and the bottom portion 4 was in the range of 39 - 43%.
- polyester bottle B3 A whole tomato was filled in the polyester bottle B3 thus manufactured, which was then sealed off with a plastic cap made of polypropylene. Subsequently, the polyester bottle B3 was treated by retort sterilization at 100° C for 30 minutes. As a result, no whitening was found in the bottom portion 4 of the polyester bottle B3.
- a shrinkage rate of the polyester bottle B3 during the retort sterilization was 2 % by volume. Then, on a DSC curve measured for the bottom portion of the polyester bottle B3 after the retort sterilization, another endothermic peak appeared near 100° C, as shown in Fig. 4, corresponding to the retort sterilization temperature. The DSC curve therefore had two peaks as a whole.
- a polyester bottle B3 was manufactured under the same conditions as in the above Example 1 except that the secondary molded piece B2 was blow-molded under biaxial orientation and the barrel portion 3 and a bottom portion 4 of the container were heat-set for 3 seconds in the secondary mold held at a temperature of 180° C.
- Coffee with milk was filled at a temperature of 25° C in the polyester bottle B3 thus manufactured, which was then sealed off with a plastic screw cap made of polypropylene.

- a polyester bottle having a barrel diameter of 69.2 mm and a height of 209.4 mm and being circular in horizontal cross-section was manufactured just by blow-molding a preform under biaxial-orientation in a primary mold, whose temperature was held at 150° C, at stretch ratio set to 3 in length, 3 in width and 9 in area size. At the same time, a barrel portion and a bottom portion except for a neck portion were heat-set for 3 seconds.

- Coffee with milk was filled at a temperature of 25° C in the polyester bottle thus manufactured, which was then sealed off with a plastic screw cap made of polypropylene. Subsequently, the polyester bottle was treated by retort sterilization at 120° C for 30 minutes. As a result, the bottom portion of the polyester bottle was deformed and whitened due to heat shrinkage. Further, a shrinkage rate of the polyester bottle during the retort sterilization was 15.5 % by volume. Then, a DSC curve measured for the bottom portion of the polyester bottle after the retort sterilization had an endothermic peak at 140° C as shown in Fig. 8.
- a polyester bottle was manufactured under the same conditions as in the above Comparative Example 1 except that the biaxial orientation blow-molding and heat-setting thereafter was carried out with the mold temperature held at 170° C.
- a DSC curve measured for a bottom portion of the polyester bottle of this Comparative Example 2 had an endothermic peak at 130° C as shown in Fig. 9.

Also, as plotted in the graph of Fig. 15, the crystallinity in a barrel portion and the bottom portion of this polyester bottle after being subjected to heat-setting was in the range of 34 - 5 %.
- a polyester bottle was manufactured under the same conditions as in the above Comparative Example 3 except that the biaxial orientation blow-molding and heat-setting thereafter was carried out with the mold temperature held at 170° C.
- a DSC curve measured for a bottom portion of the polyester bottle of this Comparative Example 4 had an endothermic peak with an apex locating near 130°C, as shown in Fig. 13. Also, as plotted in the graph of Fig. 15, the crystallinity in a barrel portion and the bottom portion of this polyester bottle after being subjected to heat-setting was in the range of 34 - 5 %.
- the bottom portion of the polyester container has an endothermic peak on a DSC curve in the range of not lower than about 150° C but not higher than a melting start point.
- the polyester container having such a feature can be realized as a result of crystallization of the material resin developed upon orientation and heat applied in the heat setting during the steps of biaxial-orientation blow-molding of the container, removal of stress occurred in the step of biaxial-orientation blow-molding, and the heat-setting.
- Figs. 16 and 17 are schematic sectional views showing manufacturing steps of another polyester container of the present invention. Specifically, Fig. 16 shows a step of manufacturing a primary molded piece from a preform, and Fig. 17 shows a step of manufacturing a final molded product from a secondary molded piece.
- a neck portion 12 of a cup-shaped preform 11 made of polyethylene terephthalate resin was crystallized (whitened) by an appropriate heating means, as shown in Fig. 16. Then, the preform 11 was heated to a temperature not lower than the glass transition point, and was blow-molded under biaxial-orientation in a primary mold. A primary molded piece C1 having dimensions greater than a targeted polyester bottle C3 was thereby obtained.
- the obtained primary molded piece C1 was heated for heat shrinkage in a heating oven or the like, and a secondary molded piece C2, shown in Fig. 17, was obtained.
- the heat-shrunk secondary molded piece C2 was blow-molded under biaxial orientation in a secondary mold, whose temperature was held in the range of not lower than 150° C but not higher than a melting start point of material resin.
- a barrel portion 13 and a bottom portion 14 were heat-set, whereby a wide-mouthed polyester container C3 was obtained.
- the polyester container C3 was subjected to cooling blow.
- Baby food was filled in the polyester container C3 thus manufactured, which was then sealed off with a metal-made screw cap. Subsequently, the polyester container C3 was treated by retort sterilization at a high temperature, e.g., at 120° C, for 20 - 50 minutes. As a result, neither deformation nor whitening was found in the bottom portion 14 and the vicinity of thereof.
- the polyester container and the method of manufacturing the polyester container, according to the present invention are not limited to the above-described Examples, and the stretch ratio in the biaxial-orientation blow-molding in the secondary mold may be further increased. Also, the bottom portion of the polyester container may be stretched while it is moved toward the neck portion 2, though not shown in Figures, for the purpose of stretching the bottom portion more sufficiently in the biaxial-orientation blow-molding of the polyester container.
- manufacturing conditions may be changed as appropriate, for example, such that the heat-setting temperatures of the barrel portion and the bottom portion of the container are set to the same value or different values in the heat-setting of the container depending on cases.
- the polyester container of the present invention has heat stability remarkably increased in comparison with conventional polyester containers. Therefore, even when the polyester container is treated by retort sterilization at a high temperature not lower than 100° C, particularly at 120° C, for 20 - 50 minutes after filling food, such as baby food, or a drink, such as coffee with milk, in the container, neither deformation nor whitening occurs in a bottom portion of the container and thereabout. Consequently, it is surely avoided to impair a commercial value of the container including the contents filled in it.
- the invention provides a highly heat-stable polyester container and a method of manufacturing the polyester container, which can be treated by retort sterilization at a high temperature after filling food, a drink or the like in the container and sealing off it, and which has superior heat stability enough to prevent deformation and whitening due to heat shrinkage in a bottom portion of the container even when treated by the retort sterilization.
- a barrel portion and a bottom portion of the container are heat-set, and at least the bottom portion of the container has an endothermic peak on a DSC curve in the range of not lower than about 150° C but not higher than a melting start point.
